About the Luce Scholars Program<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Luce Scholars Program provides recent graduates, young professionals, and advanced students the chance to live and work in Asia in a field related to their career interests. It is not an academic program but a cultural immersion and professional placement experience aimed at expanding global leadership and understanding.<\/p>\n

Luce Scholars are placed in government agencies, NGOs, academic institutions, media organisations, and businesses across Asia, selected according to their background and aspirations. Prior knowledge of Asian languages or cultures is not required and, in fact, applicants with limited experience in Asia are preferred.<\/p>\n
